Grace Tjandra

Hi guys!! I’m Grace, a first‑year Management Science student, and I’d love to run as Welfare Officer.

I previously led the Prom Committee, managing a team of  30+ people to create an inclusive event for hundreds of students. Doing that taught me how important it is to really listen and follow up so everyone feels heard and treated fairly. It also showed me how meaningful it is when you organise something that genuinely improves student welfare, and it’s a type of work I’m excited to continue if I’m elected. I also previously served as Outreach Director for a non‑profit, where I was the first point of contact between clients and the founders as we built a “Non‑profit Network Initiative” with 120+ collaborating organisations. That experience of being a reliable first contact, and connecting people to the right support is something I believe will be very useful in the Welfare Officer role.

Indosoc last term honestly helped a lot with my homesickness and made London feel less overwhelming. Because of that, if I’m elected, I want to: first, be a friendly, confidential point of contact if you’re stressed, homesick, or dealing with academic or personal issues; second, organise simple welfare initiatives like check‑in sessions, study groups, and makan bareng where we can relax and talk; and third, link our society more closely with UCLSU’s welfare and mental‑health services so you actually know what support is out there and how to access it.
